<p>Let me emphasize this clearly that (international) prestige does not always equal educational quality. Several top quality schools in the US aren’t prestigious locally or internationally. For example, Amherst College offers a top education though no one has really heard of Amherst. Warwick offers a top quality education. For example, its maths are considered the next best to Cambridge’s. But people outside of the UK do not really know that. For many people outside of the UK, it is better to study math-related courses in LSE than in Warwick. For the well-informed, Warwick is better than LSE for maths-related subjects. </p>
<p>My ranking/assessment was based on the general global prestige of the given schools. Warwick, for instance, is generally considered a top 6 uni in the UK. And many people around the world who have heard of it would view it exactly that way too, in relation to other UK unis. However, when the same people would try to pit it against those schools in the US, it would be more likely that the nearest US schools that they can identify to match Warwick is Tufts, Wake Forest, William & Mary and the like. </p>
<p>A typical American who has heard of those UK unis would perhaps view them exactly the way I described above. A clueless American would have a funny, stupid view. </p>

I don’t understand these questions. Please elaborate…</p>
